O.P. RE: Problem with log-files: Participants' nickname shouldn't get cropped at the end.
Thanks for the reply!
I'm sure you could fix this problem entirely by tweakning the Messenger Plus!'s settings, but the standard-settings would still pose a problem when parsing older logs.
My point is that this would very unlikely be a problem if the user's nickname was truncated the same way as in the log. And, because most people put a segment they never change in the beginning of their nickname, it would nearly be possible to rely on this completely.
I agree: It is the simplicity of the Messenger Plus!-logs that is its strenght (which is why I use them insted of the MSN Messenger XML-logs), but this problem clearly complicates things. I've even had problems understanding which messange that belongs to who when reading the log myself. I think it woild be much easier if the nicknames used were mostly equal, and not completely different.
And I don't really see what compatibility-problems such a change would result in.
